I heard that too, but only for about 3 months I think---til August, or maybe September, when Moira is back.

Thought Don was not going to play a Matt song tonight, but he waited until near the end before he played Around the World and said the matchless Matt Monro :)

I missed the first 5 minutes, and thought oh no he is not going to play Matt, but I managed to stay awake to hear Matt sing--but do n ot remember any more ! So good to have Don back.

In fact I was so looking forward to it, i made sure that I was upstairs and in bed , all ready and waiting for 11.00, then someone said "Here is Sara Cox"-----I had not realised it was still Saturday night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed that !!!! Don always seems to like to use an "M" word to describe Matt-I guess he likes the alliteration, being a composer. !!

Don played one of "Marvellous" Matt's glorious ballads tonight Beyond the Hill :D ............Don called Vic Damone the Singers Singer ............it sometimes feels as though Don is having a dig at someone :wink:

The synopsis for Don's show this Sunday in Radio Times is:-

With classics from the great American Songbook and the British equivalent, including a memory of Jerry Vale, who died recentdly, and Cleo Laine.

I hope people don't think that Cleo has died as she hasn't. I feel whoever wrote this could have composed it more wisely. A better idea would have been to put Cleo first and then Jerry Vale who died recently.
